About Lake Michelle Security and Lifestyle Estate
Location | Lake Michelle Security Estate
Lake Michelle in Noordhoek is situated in the green and peaceful wetlands of Noordhoek, a village on the seaboard side of Silvermine mountain.
Approximately 40 kilometres from Cape Town, access into the city can be over the mountain and along the M3, or the more tranquil and hassle-free Chapman’s Peak.
For those travelling out of rush hour a 35 – 40 minute journey will see you in the centre of Cape Town or enjoying the Waterfront. Rush hour can extend the trip to in excess of an hour so those in the know will favour the Chapman’s Peak route, enjoy the breathtaking scenery and arrive at work in about 45 minutes even at the busiest of times.

Building style | Lake Michelle Security Estate

- The first, some 12 years ago, offers mainly one-storey housing and has an older architectural feel to it with large open green spaces and views out towards Chapman’s Peak.
- Residents at the security estate Lake Michelle are an embracing community, who love nature, tranquillity and stunning views onto the Atlantic Ocean. Lake Michelle is home to artists, business men and women, families, nature and sport lovers who like to escape the bustling city life and live their lives in mesmerizing surroundings.
- One of the most appealing factors of life at Lake Michelle is the lake itself. A kilometre in length, it offers keen paddlers and sailors their own private venue for exercising their hobbies. Don’t be surprised to see some of the residents enjoying a swim and the odd fisherman or two.
- The Lake is surrounded by kilometres of walkways and cycle tracks with the central point the boathouse which regularly holds functions for residents including the month-end pub night. Lake Michelle also organises a number of events, including an annual golf day, wine-tasting, New Year’s parties and children’s events.
- Children can play in one of the large open areas or enjoy two wooden jungle gyms and on Fridays the boat-house welcomes children of all ages for various activities and socialising.
